Seakeeper<\/span> 10 Display Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A compatible display is required with the installation of a Seakeeper<\/span> 10 to support the full functionality of the unit through the Seakeeper<\/span> App in addition to the ConnectBox. The Seakeeper<\/span> App provides an interface for controlling the Seakeeper<\/span> 10 or viewing the Settings, Service, Info, and Alarm pages. The Seakeeper<\/span> ConnectBox can be helm-mounted to provide an additional interface for the control of the Seakeeper<\/span> 10 but does not replace the need for a Seakeeper<\/span> compatible display<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Seakeeper<\/span> 10 has several control interface connection options to support the Seakeeper<\/span> App:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Connect the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 10 to a compatible Multifunction Display (MFD) as seen in Figure 26.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Install an optional Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 5″ Touch Display (P\/N 90467) as seen in Figure 27.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. A combination of a compatible MFD and an optional 5″ Touch Display.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The following figures provide schematics of display options. The subsequent sections outline the instructions and references for connecting the Seakeeper<\/span> 10 to a compatible MFD display or an optional Seakeeper<\/span> 5″ Touch Display.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Connecting to a Compatible MFD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. The Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 10 can be connected to various available MFD systems. For manufacturer-specific MFD compatibility technical bulletins, refer to the Technical Bulletins Section of the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> Technical Library.
      \n
        \n
      1. MFD specific Technical Bulletins will be updated regularly as new MFD systems become available. Currently Garmin, Raymarine, NAVICO (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G), and Furuno offer compatible MFD models.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Once a compatible MFD has been selected, refer to the appropriate manufacturer specific Technical Bulletin for integration instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Connect Seakeeper<\/span><\/span>-supplied Ethernet Adapter cable, M12 D-Code, 82 ft (25 m), cable to MFD manufacturer-specific Ethernet adapter cable (See Figure 26 above). Custom Ethernet cables for specific MFD manufacturers are available through Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> and must be purchased with the Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 10 when connecting to an MFD.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Connecting to an Optional Seakeeper<\/span> 5″ Touch Display<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        If not utilizing a compatible MFD display, a Seakeeper<\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display must be purchased from Seakeeper<\/span>. The Seakeeper<\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display (P\/N 90467) includes the components shown in the following figure and will be integrated with the ConnectBox.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Determine the location of Seakeeper<\/span><\/span> 5\u201d Touch Display:
          \n
            \n
          1. The desired location of the 5\u201d Touch Display must be determined for the vessel\u2019s arrangement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. The 5\u201d Touch Display should be located on or near the helm or another easily accessible location.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Route NMEA CAN communications cable:
            \n
              \n
            1. The CAN Cable, (labelled NMEA Cable<\/em> in Figure 28), is a 25 m shielded cable that connects the ConnectBox Tee adapter to the 5\u201d Touch Display.
